Missouri labor leaders plan test case against anti strike law
Missouri labor leaders from Springfield to St. Louis gathered in the capital to plot a challenge to a new utility anti strike law set to take effect in September. Reuben T. Wood of the State Federation of Labor said the AFL will test the law, leaving timing to counsel. James Davis of the CIO council noted no definite plan yet, while union groups from the CIO and A F L coordinated to form a united front against both labor measures backed by Governor Donnelly, with disputes over jurisdictional strikes, secondary boycotts and government strike actions. The unified effort aims to curb the utility measure while lawmakers press broad regulatory provisions.

Governor veto blocks King road funds in Missouri
Gov. Phil McDonnelly vetoed a $10 million postwar reserve transfer intended to match county funds for rural roads under the King program. He argued the move would raise total state aid to $12 million, beyond the five year plan, while noting $2 million already sits in the county aid road fund for 1947-48. The veto does not affect current year road plans, and lawmakers may restore $8 million in January to maintain the five year program.
